Background: The transpsoas lateral surgical approach has been advocated as an alternative
to direct anterior approaches for less invasive or minimally invasive access to the spine. …

All‐pedicle‐screw constructs are safe and biomechanically advantageous in the management
of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis. Safe and reproducible placement of thoracic pedicle …

Object Athletes present with back pain as a common symptom. Various sports involve repetitive
hyperextension of the spine along with axial loading and appear to predispose athletes …

Objectives To assess the feasibility of reshaping cartilage using radiofrequency (RF) heating,
and to examine the effects of this process on tissue biophysical properties (optical and …

Background: The frequency and complexity of spinal surgery performed in an ambulatory
surgery center (ASC) is increasing. However, safety and efficacy data of most spinal …

While many studies have focused on modulating the immune response and enhancing
axonal regeneration after spinal cord injury (SCI), there is limited work being performed on …

Background: Recovery after injury to the peripheral nervous system is based on the pro-regenerative
relationship between axons and the extracellular matrix, a relationship established …

Study Design. Retrospective cohort. Objective. Evaluate the safety profile of single-and
multilevel cervical artificial disc replacement (ADR) performed in an outpatient setting. Summary …

Study Design: Cadaveric biomechanical study. Objectives: Medial-to-lateral trajectory cortical
screws are of clinical interest due to the ability to place them through a less disruptive, …

Background and Objectives Lasers can be used to reshape cartilage by accelerating
mechanical stress relaxation. In this study, fluorescent differential cell viability staining and flow …
